CHECK TIRE  PRESSURE
The tires on your tractor were overinfl ated 
at the factory for shipping purposes.  Cor-

cutting performance.
•   Reduce tire pressure to PSI shown on 
tires.
CHECK DECK LEVELNESS
For best cutting results, mower hous-
ing should be properly leveled.  See “TO 
LEVEL MOWER” in the Service and 
Adjustments section of this manual.
CHECK FOR PROPER POSITION 
OF ALL BELTS
See the fi gures that are shown for replac-
ing motion and mower blade drive belts 
in the Service and Adjustments sec tion 
of this manual.  Verify that the belts are 
routed cor rect ly.
